Elevating Digital Publications with Joomag

Our overall experience with Joomag has been extremely positive. The platform has proven to be a reliable and effective solution for digital publishing, offering a range of features such as advanced analytics, interactive content editor, and social media integration. The ease of uploading and distributing content, along with the quick and responsive live chat support, has made Joomag a valuable asset to our organization. While there may be limitations with the number of publications we can create, this is a minor issue compared to the numerous benefits that Joomag provides. We are very satisfied with our decision to switch from our previous platform to Joomag.

Pros

The ease of use and versatility of the Publication Content Editor, the ability to create and manage targeted marketing campaigns, and the comprehensive analytics and reporting features, combined with reliable live chat support, are some of the key aspects we love about Joomag. The platform has streamlined our digital publishing process and has provided us with valuable insights and data to make informed decisions. The quick and efficient support through live chat has been a huge plus for us.

Cons

One of the things we like least about Joomag is the limited number of publications we can create with our current subscription plan. However, this is also a testament to the effectiveness of the platform and the frequency of our use.

Alternatives Considered

Flipsnack and Foleon

Reasons for Switching to Joomag

We chose Joomag over alternative products for several reasons. Firstly, Joomag offered advanced analytics that provided a deeper insight into our audience behavior, allowing us to improve and tailor our publications accordingly. Additionally, the platform's on-demand customization options and the ability to add interactive elements to our publications was a key factor in our decision. The live chat support with quick response times was also a big plus, as compared to other platforms which either lacked live support or had longer response times. Lastly, Joomag's social media integrations and streamlined campaign management further cemented our choice and made it the clear choice for our digital publishing needs.

If you're not afraid to try something new, Joomag offers a bit of a break from the cookie cutter formats of some digital publishing platforms. You can create beautiful designs and mock ups with room for lots of creativity and the analytics were also impressive. Great resource.

Pros

I like the templates provided, the variety of interactive features and functions offered and that it allows for easy drag and drop design.

Cons

I wish the platform was more mobile user friendly for those on the go and there is a slight learning curve but that's to be expected. If you use a range of programs, it may be prohibitive for those who don't utilize it often.

I do not recommend Joomag for long-term publishing - horrible customer service

Reviewed on 2017/10/28

None. We regret our decision to utilize Joomag.

None. We regret our decision to utilize Joomag.

Pros

Joomag offers a very easy to maneuver the platform that is very user-friendly. This is what attracted our company to this publishing option. We took a lot of time looking at various flip book programs and finally settled on Joomag.

Cons

Joomag has cost us time (and MONEY) due to inexperienced customer service reps and malfunctioning software. Both their subscription fees and hard copies are at a premium price -- but they will REALLY get you with storage fees. And don't expect to publish your magazine on your own time frame. If there are hiccups with publishing after hours, you are out of luck. If you do have a complaint about the premium-priced print-on-demand hard copies (and we've had many), Joomag will make you jump through hoops to replace it. Yet, with each print quality complaint, it was the same response, "We know there is a problem and are working on our hard copies and will improve our quality." There was a time that Joomag would call me when they screwed up, but after a series of debacles that stalled our operations they decided that "phone calls weren't their policy". I would not recommend this platform to anyone that wants to present a magazine that seeks dependability in their publishing platform -- along with attentive and responsive customer service. When I recently canceled my premium subscription (after 3+ years) due to too many mistakes on their part, they slapped me with storage fees. Their "solution" is for me to pay up or delete past issues of the magazine...which is a scary proposition for any publication. Why would anyone want to publish with a company that would suggest that the product is deleted? It's disheartening to know how they treat their "valued customers".

Overall this is a great software for marketing and visualisations for your view. Also used this is useful for Graphic designers

Pros

Easy to use, meaning I can easily upload pdfs, enhance with interactive videos and forms and finally share shortlinks to my potential clients. I can truck who opened my publication and how many people has seen my catalogues.

Cons

Their new editor need some more features as the old one. The viewer sometimes loads long if there are many interactive elements inside publication.

Joomag is not for those who are disabled or non-profit sector

Reviewed on 2018/04/10

Pros

Joomag is great at marketing themselves. They appear to be standing by waiting to help with excellent customer service. They do make their platform look simple. Though, can't give any pros on the software specifically because we were never able to use the platform.

Cons

Purchased subscription for our non-profit for patients with disabilities. We were unable to use the software because of illness and it was too difficult. (Too complex if you have cognitive and memory disabilities and too much variability in the controls if you have a tremor or other movement issues.) We explained it was not compatible with those with disabilities, and we politely asked they refund our non-profit for the months not used. (Not a full refund for the months we tried to use it.) DENIED! We approached them again, explaining with more detail the issues we experienced with the platform. Again, DENIED, because we were 9 days past the halfway billing cycle. 9 DAYS! Very disappointed.

Worked for what we needed, wasn't the greatest quality.

Pros

Because of the limited capabilities of our department website we used Joomag to publish an online PDF of our printed pamphlets. We didn't use Joomag to create anything, just to upload PDF's to be viewed on our website. It was nice and completed the functions we needed. We could go and link pages with page numbers for easy navigation for the user.

Cons

The link through our website always took a while to load. The website wasn't the easiest to navigate and the tools weren't all that intuitive. But again, we were using Joomag for just one purpose and didn't dive into all available resources.

Joomag provides the best combination of features, device compatibility, and price

Reviewed on 2018/04/10

Pros

When searching for a new provider for the digital edition of our magazine, the things that were most important to me were ease of use, speed of implementation and presentation/user experience for our readers, regardless of device. Joomag provided the best combination of those features at a good price. Their chat support is also very responsive.

Cons

They recently launched the HTML5 version of their viewer on desktop, and there are some issues with it. Several pages of my magazine have to be manually re-processed by their team each month to ensure proper presentation with HTML5. I am confident this will eventually be resolved, however. Also, purchasing additional storage can become quite expensive.

Ideally, our website would be able to allow us to upload these visual materials, but since we're limited in what the backend of our website can do, Joomag has been a great way to make our print materials digital and allow the publication to live on.

I like how easy it is to upload materials to become a digital viewing format. It works well since our website is not a viewer compatible.

Cons

At my full-time job, I publish a newsletter using Joomag. Once it's created, I can easily share a link with the rest of the company. We also use it as a way of sending our catalog out for review.

Pros

Joomag is a fairly fast and easy way to share publications with others. It gives you plenty of privacy options as well, so you can grant access to anyone, to those with a link, those with a password, etc. The viewer is also pleasant, with a nice page-turning effect.

Cons

I don't like the way the zoom works when you're viewing pages. There's a slider at the bottom, and you mouse over different areas to see a zoomed-in image. The problem is, if you want to focus on one particular spot it's difficult to stay on that spot, as it'll move when you move your cursor away from that window. Not ideal, if they had a way to lock on a zoomed spot, that would be great.

I've been using joomag since 2013. It's a magnificent platform that delivers incredible value.

Reviewed on 2018/04/09

Pros

I researched a lot of platforms before deciding on joomag. All of the other always had one critical thing I needed, missing. Joomag has everything I needed. And I will also say that over the years, they've added features and functions that are important. I feel like they listen to their users. It's really a great platform. I couldn't be happier. I haven't looked elsewhere since.

Cons

Honestly I can't think of anything I don't like. Most of the shortcomings I would've mentioned have been eliminated over the years by adding new functions. I'm happy with joomag, completely.

Although I guess if you are designing the magazine or publication using their design center, I think there should be more fonts. But that's not a deal breaker for me. And I design my publications in a separate design software.

Was mir am besten an Joomag gefallen hat, ist dass es ein sehr benutzerfreundliches Tool ist.

Das Analytics Funktion gefällt mir sehr, da man hier sehen kann, was angeklickt wird und welche Seiten am besten performen.
